RdpGuard is a strong firewall against server intrusion attacks (HIPS). It protects Windows servers against a variety of Brutal Forwards attacks on various communication protocols and services including RDP, MS-SQL, FTP, SMTP, MySQL, IIS Web Login, ASP.NET Web Forms and more. The program blocks suspicious IPs by monitoring the server logs and by checking for unauthorized logins. That is, when an IP tries to log on to the server multiple times with different words, it is trying to infiltrate, so blocking this IP for a specific time limit will greatly reduce the chance of infiltration.

Usually these attacks are carried out by robots automatically using several different IPs. Therefore, the software should automatically block any suspicious IPs after several attempts with a proper strategy. The program logs all blocked IPs and their blocking dates and you can access this information anytime. Even if you have strong passwords for your host and you are comfortable with Brute Force attacks, blocking the IPs you are trying to access 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, is at the expense of your server resources and bandwidth.

Your Windows server is unable to detect the human or robot that logs in, so it has to respond to all requests, which means CPU usage, bandwidth usage for the login page load. So instead of one robot you would consider a few dozen robots, naturally increasing server resource usage. Here, using tools like RdpGuard will not only be a security option but also a strategic and management necessity.
